1977 Rollback Truck on 2040-cars
Maidsville, West Virginia, United States
Up for sale is my 77 true 4x4 dually pickup and was transformed into to this awesome piece. Professionally stretched at a shop.The guy I got it from cleaned this truck up and updated it with a front clip and doors from a rust free 91 blazer. The cab is the original 1977 cab and is solid and the cab mounts all look good. Doors shut like they are supposed to. The black paint looks pretty good with minor scratches here and there. All glass is good. The rear window needs the tint removed. The interior is in good shape other than the stitching has come loose on the drivers side seat. Motor is a 350 out of a 87 blazer with 10,000 miles on it. Has a fresh flywheel and Luke ceramic clutch. new wires and radiator 4 core. Runs awesome with great oil pressure. The drive train on this truck is a dana 60 front and dana 80 rear with 410 gears. Has a 4 speed and 205 transfer case all in good shape. The steering is great. Has new front springs positive arch 4'' heavy duty rear springs 3/8 thick. Triple overloads and a 15GVW. The tires are 10 ply and are about 60% but safe. The bed 17' 2 '' x 92 wide with a wood deck. The winch is a Ramsey 9000lb with rebuilt motor and new solenoids. The bed works very well. This truck is titled as a stake truck not a wrecker so cheaper tags. Extra battery on bed for winch. Has one 20 gal fuel tank. No a/c ever. Drove this truck 7 hours about 2 months ago with out any trouble. The truck does need a couple things that I never got around to fixing. The emergency brake does not work it has never been hooked up since I have had it I always put a wood block behind wheel. Also the speedometer quit working due to the gear reduction fitting going into the transfer case going bad. This is not a new truck but for a Chevy and a truck that has great parts availability if ever needed its a great truck. And the great thing is its a 4 wheel drive.You can fly in and drive it home. I would trust it to drive anywhere. Payment due in 7 days Thanks and good luck. |

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
